Hey Dudette! The Girl Scouts have stayed true to their mission of empowering girls while my old group the Campfire Girls decided to take boys also and drop Girls from their name.
Hah! In my world back in the day it was Girl Guides! My Mum was a huge presence & supporter of Girl Guides. When she passed last July, I was so touched by the whole troupe who came to represent & pay respects at her funeral. Such a touching moment. 💞😪

Donald Trump led a deadly attack to overthrow our Government. And Republicans and Joe Manchin are fine with not knowing how that happened. Chuck Schumer, grow some balls, get rid of the filibuster, and stand up for Democracy!
🚨READ! It's been 2️⃣0️⃣6️⃣ days since the election and Republicans have introduced over 3️⃣8️⃣0️⃣voter suppression bills in 4️⃣8️⃣ states.
The GOP has been working around the clock to make Trump's #TheBigLie policy. Why? Because blocking democracy is the only way they can win. pic.twitter.com/gQYdNYPkxq

Thugs are weaponizing traitor’s big lie while the dems have their thumbs up their collective asses.
No more fucking around. It’s time for President Biden and Senator Schumer to start doing some LBJ arm twisting, get rid of the Jim Crow filibuster, and save Democracy. We’re watching it slip away before our eyes.
Sen. Michael Bennet: "The country can't endure another period of obstruction like the one that Mitch McConnell wrought when Barack Obama was president." @MSNBC
I will give thugs this, they know how to bend & manipulate the system to their advantage. Dems suck at it. Do you think DC would not be a state by now if it was whiter?
Tonight, Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman is standing guard outside the Senate Chamber as Republicans vote to obstruct an investigation into the attacks of Jan. 6.
Goodman — the officer who used himself as bait to protect the same GOP senators who are obstructing justice.
There were 54 votes in favor of enacting the January 6 Commission, and 35 opposed, but because our rules are completely bananas that means that the 35 WON THE VOTE. The filibuster must go.
The January 6th attack was a warning. Today, Republicans block a bi-partisan investigation so they can defend the Big Lie & appease insurrectionists. And they've pushed 400+ anti-voter bills + new laws to subvert elections at the state level. We must defend our democracy. Now.
The government in Oklahoma negated the Greenwood families’ claims, then claimed they were too late. And insurance companies refused to compensate them. The perpetrators of the Tulsa massacre were men in power at the time (and their descendants still are. https://t.co/N2l59Udv1rpic.twitter.com/7fv5DeOZLF

The problem is that not all Sen Dems are on board to end the filibuster…or perhaps not even on board with Pres Biden’s agenda…the filibuster gives them all cover…but i think it is all about to be exposed with the upcoming vote on S1…as Schumer will be bringing the bill to the floor for a vote…in a few weeks
The GOP plan is to enshrine power in their hands, permanently. Democrats must not fear using their power to stop that. Embracing Democracy to prevent Autocracy, thereby saving the country, or saving the filibuster and protecting Senate niceties. It’s crazy it’s even a choice.

Statement by President Joe Biden on Texas Senate Bill 7
“Today, Texas legislators put forth a bill that joins Georgia and Florida in advancing a state law that attacks the sacred right to vote. It’s part of an assault on democracy that we’ve seen far too often this year—and often disproportionately targeting Black and Brown Americans.
It’s wrong and un-American.
In the 21st century, we should be making it easier, not harder, for every eligible voter to vote.
I call again on Congress to pass the For the People Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.
And I continue to call on all Americans, of every party and persuasion, to stand up for our democracy and protect the right to vote and the integrity of our elections.”
(whitehouse.gov)
To Senator Schumer: Stacey Abrams and many others worked their asses off to make you majority leader. Be one. Don’t let Democracy die on your watch. Kill the filibuster!
but i believe that is about to change..i hope that is about to change…Manchin was feeling some kind of way…he thought that he had 10 Republicans…He was lied to..🤥
Mitch McConnell got rid of the filibuster to steal a seat on the Supreme Court, but he won't abolish the filibuster to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.

Israeli opposition parties have moved closer towards forming a government that would end the era of Benjamin Netanyahu, the country’s longest serving prime minister.
Centrist party leader Yair Lapid is reportedly close to reaching a coalition agreement with the ultra-nationalist leader Naftali Bennett.
Leaders from Mr Bennett’s party spoke in favour of the deal on Sunday.
Mr Lapid, 57, has until Wednesday to form a new coalition government.
Israeli media reports suggest both sides have inched closer towards a deal that would see Mr Bennett, 49, serve as prime minister for two years before being replaced by Mr Lapid for the second half of the term.
Mr Bennett is due to deliver a statement on Sunday evening in which he is expected to formally declare his support for the agreement.
I don’t grasp how it is easy to make it harder to vote.
14th Amendment:
“No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States…nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
And there are 3 amendments on individual voting rights, are there not? -15th (for Black men) -19th (for women citizens) -26th (for all law-abiding citizens over the age of 18) Does this not show how essential of a right voting is, that 🇺🇸 had to specific it in COTUS 3 times?

I bet ned beatty character of a corrupt to the core senator in the movie Shooter is based on mcturtle. I would be pleased to the core if that movie became a reality.
On Memorial Day, we remember all those who gave the last full measure of devotion for our democracy. We can honor their legacy by defending government of the people, by the people, for the people—today and every day.
Let everyone know the truth: Newly liberated Black people in Charleston created Memorial Day to honor Black soldiers for their courage and tenacity after they fought on the frontlines of the Civil War. pic.twitter.com/FTBCvrCh5U
Traditionally, Memorial Day marks a day of mourning for the lives lost on both sides of the conflict. According to Blight’s research,, however, its foundation rests on the actions of freed slaves and their symbolic tributes to fallen Union soldiers.

Thugs are weaponizing traitor’s big lie while the dems have their thumbs up their collective asses.
Not feeling good at all about 2022 and 2024.
All these statements while true are useless. Biden, as the leader of party, has to take manchin and the other lady to woodshed.
Manchin claims to be disappointed…we shall see if that is all talk or if he is now ready to move off of his position about the filibuster
It reads: “K. Harris Madam Vice President”
I will give thugs this, they know how to bend & manipulate the system to their advantage. Dems suck at it. Do you think DC would not be a state by now if it was whiter?
Correct on all points, amk
It’s insulting of a black man and a Capitol Police Officer. Double slap in the face by chicken schit old azz white men.
Archaic ‘rules’. Where one thug can stop the legislation. Nowhere in the world does this happen.
Dictators, communist leaders,…
Hear that schumer, biden? You are the leaders, act like it.

Nope this is true. We’ll see.

I *think* it is just the Governor who is a Dem. The legislature is GOP controlled. UGH!!
Just the Governor..the state house and state senate are majority GOP
They stay in power by gerrymandering and redistricting..

His sole function as a senate leader is to corral the votes of blackguards like mancin. Pelosi does.
Schumer isn’t the problem. Direct anger at Manchin and Sinema.
Yes!! It must go.
So many voices. Deaf dem ears.
It’s not up to McConnell. Democrats need to do it. Manchin and Sinema appear to be the hold up.
